“I don’t know the man; we never met.” “I take lots of pictures with people I don’t know.”

Whenever Trump uses these phrases, you can bet the farm that he’s lying. His most recent use of these tired lies was when he was asked if he knew disgraced Ukraine opportunist Lev Parnas. Although he has been seen in dozens of pictures with the man, Trump continued to deny the truth.

On Saturday a one-and-one-half-hour tape recording was released during which Trump had lengthy conversations with Parnas, and his co-conspirator, Igor Fruman. They were attending a fund raiser at Trump’s Washington hotel.

After Parnas disparages Yovanovitch as an intractable Clinton administration holdover, Trump can be heard saying, “Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it.” (Yovanovitch actually joined the State Department in the Reagan administration.)

Comments by Trump like this are why Moscow Mitch is afraid to allow any testimony at Trump’s impeachment trial, and why the “trial” is a complete sham. Honestly and plainly put; Trump is guilty as hell.

Once again, it is valid to note that Trump’s entire life is based on lies. His only defense has been to falsely attack his detractors. Anyone who does not agree with your criminal-in-chief completely is immediately shunned. No one is allowed inside Trump’s circle of sinners unless they offer 100 percent loyalty without expecting the same in return.

I am ashamed of every Republican in name only who is in office today. I call them traitors because they have no loyalty to their country or our nation’s people. They serve their party and special interests exclusively.

If just a few Republicans would do the right thing, Trump would be removed from office. He is unfit to wear the label of President of the United States because he is not. He serves only those loyal to him.
